    ========= Carolus Rex LYRICS ==========
    All embrace me
    It’s my time to rule at last
    Fifteen years have I been waiting
    To sit upon my throne
    No allegiance
    I will swear no oath
    Crowned by god not by the church
    As my power is divine
    They thought I was too young to rule the land
    Just as they failed to understand
    Born to rule
    My time has come
    I was chosen by heaven
    Say my name when you pray
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    With the lord my protector
    Make them bow to my will
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    Proved in battle
    Led my men to victory
    No man alive or dead commands me
    I answer to the Lord
    Hear my orders
    Question me and die
    What I say was said in heaven
    And so it shall be done
    I know I was destined to rule alone
    All for myself I have claimed the throne
    Born to rule
    My time is now
    I was chosen by heaven
    Say my name when you pray
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    With the lord my protector
    Make them bow to my will
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    To the skies
    See Carolus rise
    [Spoken words by Joakim Brodén:]
    Framåt Karoliner
    Fiendens dom är här
    Låt oss krossa dom
    Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
    All that’s thine shall be mine, there’s no stopping me
    All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none
    All I see give to me, that is my decree
    My will be done
    They thought I was too young to rule the land
    Just as they failed to understand
    Born to rule
    My time is now
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    Following the passing of his father, Charles XII, known as Carolus Rex, became King of Sweden at the age of 15. The quiet but determined King had been brought up to rule as an absolute monarch.

      @@plasmakitten4261 Someone who learned WW@ more or less, the basics I mean, should know what defeated Germany. No, it was not winter, it was not USSR which fed the beast that attacked it when it grew strong enough.
      Simplest answer would be the united force of nations that were not friends, or in case with Britain and USSR--hated each other with fervor.
      I highly recommend to read about first year of German assault on USSR, preferably from someone who studied USSR, their history and military. Did you know 4 million soviet soldiers gave up in the first year of the war? Did you know that Germans captured so much ammo and resources that USSR would be fighting with shovels and sticks if someone did not send them first grade gun powder and metals? USSR was on the brink of extinction. A good proof of that was that Stalin? who counted his people just a bit better than filth, made an announcement to them calling them brothers and sisters. Did you know that USSR that made itself a purpose to eradicate religions freed a lot of priests when thew war started. They also brought back traditions of Tsar's army, ranks and a lot more.
      USSR was going to lose. If they made every man woman and boy attack Germans in that year, they would only delay the inevitable.
      I know, Russians like to think they defeated Germans. That is stupid. Stupid people ignited that war with Germans, and stupid people paid dear price for their stupidity.
      Winter did not defeat Germans and neither did USSR. It was like a rusty spear that hits the enemy, loses sharpness, but still has enough strength to finish him. The 3 nations defeated German army. And perhaps the one that lost the most men, deserved that the most.
      Then there is the story of how the world came to WW2 which is also amazingly interesting. But that is another story.

      Charles XII had his faults, but he was a great king and general. I think many people don't understand him. They say that he was a bad politician. He wasn't a politician. He was a statesman. Namely, he didn't play the political game where you pretend to friends and lie and cheat your way to the top. He was willing to go the extra mile for the good of the country for the long term, not just the short term. Charles was unwilling to make a peace deal unless he received ALL of Sweden's land back. He knew his history how Sweden was almost crushed by coalitions in the past. Charles' goal was to crush his enemies so hard that they would never be a threat to Sweden again. By giving Peter what he wanted, Charles was dooming his country to another war in the future when Russia was stronger.
      Charles was an idealist. Denmark, Poland/Saxony, and Russia were all friendly to him when he became king, and he assumed that that meant that they acknowledged his sovereignty over the lands he ruled. He didn't understand that your average king/queen of the era was duplicitous, crafty, and willing to betray any ally if it meant a stronger position.
      Charles was unfortunate in the timing of the war. Charles wanted to knock out Saxony as soon as possible so that he could turn to Russia and do the same to them. Unfortunately, because of the War of Spanish Succession, he was restrained by the Allies because they needed all the German troops they could get, and they wouldn't get them if Charles threatened Germany. Because of this delay, Peter was given the precious time he needed to reform his armies.
      In hindsight, one mistake Charles did was to march to Moscow and not St. Petersburg. Charles' strategy was based on knockout punches. He dashed across to Denmark at the beginning of the war and was able to knock them out, and when he was able to enter Saxony, he did the same to them,. Charles didn't realize that Peter would do ANYTHING to protect his city of St. Petersburg, even to risk a battle. The very thing Charles wanted.
      If there was one thing that Charles was superb at, and something that I want to emulate, is his leadership skills. Even though he was an absolute king, he never elevated himself over his men. He lived roughly just like them, and he would never ask his men to do something he wouldn't do himself. And that earned respect and love from his men.

    The lyrical progression in this song is so clever. First he establishes that he is above all other men, then claims that he was crowned by God Himself, not the Church, then the prayer "Thy (God's) will be done" is corrupted into "MY will be done" as though Carolus were now putting himself on equal footing with God.

    This is why I'm increasingly getting into Sabaton. They make learning history cool and really bring the feeling of the subject of the song.
    And they rock the f*** out too 👍
